English, Os Indiana. For Senator from the 39th Sena torial District. 001. B. S'. Os Cherokee County. Congressional Convention. There will be a meeting held in the court house un Tuesday the 10th of August next, for the purpose of selecting delegates tn the congressional convention to be he’d at Rome, Ga, on the 18th of August. Every l>>dy are invited to at tend said meeting. Joshua TioßKins, Chairman. ► Dr. Tanner is good on die fast. Garfield is 49 and Hancock is 56. We will publish next week Gen. Garfield’s letter of acceptance. Gen. Hancock’s letter of accept ance will be out in about one week The Georgia gubernatorial con vention will consist of 350 dele gates, and will meet in Atlanta on the 4th of August—next Wednes day. “D.,” in Marietta Journal, sug gests the name of Col. Jas. D. Wad dell as a suitable gen deman to re ceive the nomination for Congress in the 7th district. As Col. Waddell was really the first Georgia Hancock man, “I’oik-,” in the Constitution suggests that he be elected as one of the e ectors. •‘II. A. M.” will accept our thanks for bis very kind allusion to us last week. Cherokee should indicate in some way whom she wants for Senator.—Cumming Clarion. She indicates C01.8.F. Payne and will stand by him in the election and trust that Forsyth and Milton will do the same. Col. A. W. Roberts,of Cherokee, was in town last Friday. Webb is fat and smiling. We would tell who he is for Senator but presume that Cherokee’s Senatorial aspi rants will send in their cards with a V each.—Cumming Clarion. Cherokee aspires for only one and that is Col. B. F. Payne. The early elections of this year are the following: Alabama,first Monday of August; Arkansas, first Monday of September ; Vermont, first Tuesday of September; Maine, second Monday of September; Col orado, first Tuesday of October; Indiama, Ohio and West Virginia, second Tuesday of October. We place to-day at the head of our columns the name of Col. Ben. F. Payne as the most suitable man for our next representative in the Senate from the 39th Senatorial District. He is certainly “The People’s choice,” and is acceptable alike to the “Independants” and “Organized,” standingjas hedoeson the broad platform of equa! rights for all. Gen. Neal Dow accepts the nom ination for the Presidency at the hands of the Prohibition party. In his letter of acceptance he says that he considers the suppression of the liquor traffic of far greater political importance than anything that is now claiming the attention of the country. THE SENATOR HIP. Chl. lien F. Payne Our Choice It is with profound;pleasure we call the attention of onr readers to the announcement to be found else where of the name of I 01. Ben. F. Payne, for the State Senatorship from this, the 39th District. Col. Payne is well and favorably known to the people of his home county, ( herokee ; and by the cit izens of the adjacent counties, com posing this district, Milton and Forsyth, he is looked upon as a high toned, honorable, highly edu cated and upright gentleman. No name, we belive could have been put before the people that would give more general satisfaction, or have caused more favorable com ment, than will Col. Payne’s. He is a man as we all know of great energy, exceeding ability,and will ably and faithfully represent the entire district in the Georgia Sen ate. He has never been actively engaged in politics as an office hol der, but is none the less fully post ed in the political matters of the day and time. He is sound in judgement and appreciates the needs and necessities of our sec tion, and will faithfully and ener getidy labor for the accomplish ment of much good to our district and people. He is fully aware of the wants and necessities of the farmers, and will untiringly serve them that every tvish may be as fully granted as in his power it lies. It is the wish of Col. Payne’s friends that he make the race, and we have no fears whatevei but that the entire district will be proud of and well pleased with bis course,* if he be elected. No Nomination Desired. Mr. Editor: We are confident that a nomination for Senator for the 39th district is not desired by the Democrats of this county. The Senatorship is universally recog nized, we believe, to belong to Cherokee this time, and the better policy in the opinion of all, so far as we have heard, is to have the field open to any one who may wish to enter the race. Col. Ben. F. Payne we believe is out, though not yet publicly announced through the columns of your paper, but we presume soon will be, and he is an acc< ptable candidate to the people of this county, and to all who know him therefore we have no hesitancy in saying he is not only the choice of Cherokee but of the entire district. Citizens. [lf “Citizen” will look elsewhere he will see the announcement. Ed.] Bro. Clements, of the Cumming Clarion, says ; Should we run for the Legislature and be elected we will vote for Joe Brown for Sena tor, Judge Lester for Judge of the Supreme Court and “Snacks” Pat terson for Solicitor General of the Blue Ridge Circuit, and we will do this whether they are for us or not. We desire to aid in raising politics out of the groveling low grounds of personal pique and per sonal animosities. Public Speaking. We are requested to give notice that Hon. Wm. H. Felton will speak at the court house on the second Wednesday in August next —the 11th, prox. Let all who may wish to learn of his “record” and know that he is again a candidate for congress from the 7th district, come and listen to our representa tive. All are invited. The ap pointment was made for the 10th of August, but owing to that be ing the day on which the county congressional convention meets, it was postponed. Cash, who murdered Colonel Shannon in a so-called duel in South C arolina the other day, has been al lowed to give bail in the small sum of three thousand dollars. Why are you a Democrat or Re publican ? Do you base your choice of eitheir party upon anything worth the difference ? Examine the Democratic Platform in this is sue and see if that does not exact ly strike your favor, From an old Georgian. Albany, Texas, 1 July 17th, 1880. | Mn Editor: According to promise I send y'ou sketch < f travels in Texas. I will avt attempt to tell you how I felt at all times, for some times I felt very much home sick, but now I am well.' 4 I mounted the steam cart at‘Dalton, Ga , and in forty-eight hours I found my telf at Sherman. Texa& I spent two or three days there and. visited the legal brotherhood, ameng whom where three Georgians,all doing well considering the great contrast between the amount of business and the number of lawyers. As usual, I learned tint the good place was •■'bout twe hundred miles west." I stood round and triid to look wise till I struck up with another fellow who had come in from South C arolina with his money sack, seeking a good place to fill it. Wc bought us a pny a piece, traded our valises fur saddle pockets and made f< r the west. Water was very scarce and “pard” got dry and showed his home sickness a little worse than I did. We made our way together till we came to a place where we paid a quarter fora drink for our horses. We both came to the conclusion that Texas was no place for soft fi-ted fellows. We swapped horses and ‘ paid’’ turned his eyes homeward, stating that he was going home, marry, settle down and go to work for an boils est living. Ihe last I heard of him he was at Little Rock, Ark., drumming for a hotel, completely strap: ed. This is the way that 'bout four fifths of the young emigrants, who come here with the ex pectation of getting loads of wealth with out any effort whatever, turn out. The fault is not in the country, it is in the man. A/y knowledge of Texas teaches me that it is a better country than Geor gia, or any other old State. Western l exas is to-day what North Georgia was forty years ago. I would not advise any man who has a home or business to come to any part es Texas I have seen; but I would advise every young man. who is willing to work eithei mentally or phisically, to leave a country where he has to wait for some old Jiead to die in order that he tnay get a seat. Don'tcume with the expectation 01 finding your corn already shelled, for you will have it to shell. Don,t come expecting to find the country inhabited by foots, hut come expecting to be and act the gentleman and you’ll find bands of warm friends. When mv “partner" re turned home I crossed the Red river. . Respectfully, D R. Britt, announcements. FOR S I ATE SENATE. I hereby announce myself as a candi. date for State Senator from the 39th district. I believe in representing the will of the people, and, if elected, shall endeavoi to do so fearlessly and con scientiously. Respectfully, B. F. PAYNE. We are authorized to announce DAVID J. MASSEY, of Hickory Flat, as a can didate for the office of Tax Collector ot Cherokee county at the ensuing election. Cherokee abounds with substantial ev idencethat MR.JL HARRIS would make an energetic and fearless Sheriff. His name is therefore hereby presented for that office at the ensuing election in January next, by Many Fi iends. July 22nd, 1880. To the Voters of Cherokee County. —I hereby announce myself as a candi date for Sheriff at the ensuing election. If elected I will discharge the duties of the office in person and to the best of my ability. Respectfully, Joshua P. Spears. July 21st 1880. We are authorized to announce JOHN B. LEWIS,Esq., of Salacoa, as a candidate for Tax receiver, es Cherokee county, at the ensuing election. To the Citizens of Cherokee Conn ty. Induced by the many flattering solici tations of good men from all parts of the county —whose voice I do not feel at lib erty to disregard-1 announce myself a candidate to represent you in the next General Assembly. I am aware of the great responsibility assumed, of what a nice thing it is to represent a free and great State. Yet, if elected, I shall fearlessly and persistent ly battle for the rights of the people They make the Government and from their hard earnings support it. Legisla tion should always be in their interest. Labor should be lightly burdened, this would popularize the Government. Peo ple never love a Government whose fi nancial blunders force it to tax them more than they c m pay. Governments not administered in the interest of the people are always demoralizing. Thank ing those gentlemen, who have seen prop er to suggest my name, es a candidate for Represenlative, in words of such com mendation, I remain very respectfully, Your Obedient Servant, Jas, q.
